Lyrics

Shadow Self (Demo)

[Verse 1]

Close the curtains and dim the lights

Don’t feel offended by your faith tonight

And track the motion of your body in space

Feel the centre of your rage

[Chorus]

"Shut up", she said, "I don’t want nobody", oh-oh

"I’m up with my shadow self", oh-oh-oh

"Shut up", she said, "I don’t want nobody", oh-oh

"I’m up with my shadow self", oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

It doesn’t matter what they think

When you’re not a person, you’re just a thing

We have grown tomorrow, we have cause today

We are the centre of our rage

[Chorus]

"Shut up", she said, "I don’t want nobody", oh-oh

"I’m up with my shadow self", oh-oh-oh

"Shut up", she said, "I don’t want nobody", oh-oh

"I’m up with my shadow self", oh-oh-oh

"Shut up", she said, "I don’t want nobody", oh-oh

"I’m up with my shadow self", oh-oh-oh

"Shut up", she said, "I don’t want nobody", oh-oh

"I’m up with my shadow self", yeah
